Dino Dizdarevic, a 25-year-old chemical engineer, was found by a passerby at the bottom of a fire escape in an overgrown lot in Chester, Pa. Police say he had been beaten and strangled to death.

On Wednesday, April 30, Dizdarevic told his boyfriend, Nick McBee, with whom he was in an open relationship, he was driving to Chester to meet a man he’d met on Grindr, reported Phillymag.com.

McBee began to fear the worst when the night wore on and he hadn’t heard anything from him. “He was a responsible person. He always called to let me know where he was,” he says. “I knew something was wrong.”

When Dizdarevic failed to return home, friends contacted his parents, who reside in Lexington, Ky,
